Young Thug’s older sister Angela Grier has reportedly passed away, according to the rapper’s family, as Thugga sits behind bars related to the ongoing YSL RICO Case.
Thugga’s sister Dolly White seemed to confirm the news when she reshared a post of Grier that had been initially uploaded by Lil Keed’s mother.
White then uploaded another post with heartbreak and crying emojis. Details remained scarce at the time of writing.
The heartbreaking news comes as the YSL leader — who faces eight charges, including conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity, along with multiple drug and weapons offenses – has suffered a string of bad luck during the jury selection process of the ongoing YSL RICO Case.
As the search for jurors drags on, many potential jurors have ended up being ineligible for jury duty due to strange circumstances. Thug’s lawyer Brian Steele recently claimed that a potential juror had even attempted to reach out to him via email. While the contents of the message weren’t disclosed during the hearing, it was enough for the judge to order an investigation.
To combat incidents such as the aforementioned, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that Judge Ural Glanville was substantially widening the pool of potential jurors in order to find enough who actually qualify.
“Judge Glanville thinks we’ll need 500-600 jurors in the pool after hardships,” reporter Shaddi Abusaid tweeted earlier this week. “Of those, ‘We’ll need to qualify close to 100 folks.’ before strikes.”

“More groups of jurors being brought in Feb. 24, March 17, April 28 and May 19,” Abusaid added.
The jury selection process has been brutal on Thugga since it began on January 9. Many potential jurors are reportedly concerned with the length of the trial, which they’ve been told could last as long as six to nine months.

Despite these setbacks, it seems Thugga is keeping his head up, as he recently appeared to be undergoing a physical transformation in jail via a new photo shared by his sister Dolly White. The photo shows Thugga flexing his bicep for the camera.
“My Heart,” she wrote alongside the photo of them smiling together.
